One of the great things I love about working for my production company is – they get it! I’ve been a freelance producer/director for pretty much my entire career and loved it. I had personal freedom. Creative license. The ability to choose projects that interest me.

Why would I want to work for the man? For another production company? With rules. Unruly clients. Meetings. Punching a timeclock (I hadn’t punched a timeclock since college). And most importantly – no clear vision of creating good, entertaining content. I would never do it. It’s artistic suicide!

Well, I was wrong. I good friend of mine, Chad Crawford, asked me to join him last year, and naturally I resisted. Until he laid out a plan that, quite honestly, shocked me. A plan of creating original content that we could own, market, and distribute. Here’s a guy that gets it (now if I only could get him to blog) and has the same goals as me. So, I joined him and his production company and am happy to tell you that our first original television show will begin airing in May, locally on My65 in Orlando and statewide on the SunSports Network. It’s a fantastic show that entertains, teaches and encourages Floridians to actively engage their state. For example in the first episode, we show viewers “how” to go surfing – where to go, how to pick the right surfboard, how to stand up on the board, etc. We also cover how to go shrimping, how to cook the shrimp you catch, how to relax on a sunset river cruise, and how to go kayaking. The exciting thing is this show is only our first endeavor into creating original content, we already have more television content, webisodes, and even documentaries on tap for future productions. Check out the intro. Let me know what you think. Enjoy.
